Lazy nurses , rude , obnoxious and catty . I came here as a travel nurse in the ICU's and was not only appalled but also ashamed to say I worked there. WAY behind the times in care and quality. One nurse who is big , bulky, loud and makes odd noises was always weird in a creepy way.

No cohesive teamwork, too many managers fear for their jobs, as a result of this the environment is like walking on egg shells. Perhaps they need to run the organization like a business and not to realize – more... their own personal agendas while expecting you to not only do your job but other's as well. I would not recommend working there nor would I recommend medical treatment for anyone! Things cannot improve until administration is all replaced. – less

I left a great company to work for this place. Every aspect is childish. Coworkers and doctors set others up to fail. If you are not part of the click, farewell. I was one of the many few that had a wonderful manager but i see her position is now available. Possibly due to the doctors evil, backstabbing behavior. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy!!!!

This place has changed so much in the last 5 years. All about making money and scores. People used to say hi to each other in the hall, now, no words and people look down. Very sad. Used to be a great place to work, now they have a hard time keeping employees.

The other reviews on here about the management is 100% correct, they do not care about anyone but themselves, they want something on everyone to hold over your head, and definitely true about not investigating – more... a situation, they just assume the employees involved are at fault- end of story!More and more work, less and less staff to do it with!You will notice in previous reviews that the HR people all say how wonderful the place is to work because they are the ones who also don't care and help write everyone up, including physicians!!!! I worked there for 4 years when it was not IU, and things were great but when I went back to work there under IU Health it was more than disappointing!!! – less

Management targets individuals to be let go. Employees can not voice their opinion without fear of being targeted to be laid off. Management does not use the turn laid off instead they say your position – more... is being eliminated then they replace that position calling it by another name. Such as, there are no longer team leaders they are now called charge nurses (same thing just less money) Management will overwork you by having less staff but then they don't allow over time. Employees are over stressed because support staff has been eliminated. Just a very bad job environment. Stay away! – less

Cons: hospital wide and system wide reoganization and position realignments.

I enjoyed my job at IU Health very much. I had much autonomy in my position. I had learned a lot about the audio visual industry and healthcare in general. It was a very busy but professional environment. – more... My co-workers were great. Very friendly and helpful. The people there were amazing. The hardest part of my job was the increasing busyness of it. I was a "one man show" in the audio visual department, and with all the meetings, classes, in-services, and outside events, it was hard to keep up at times, but I was successful in doing so. The most enjoyable part of my job being able to work with a variety of audio visual technologies, and also work with a variety of professional people. – less

Cons: high turnover rate, no support from managers or staff, department is always inadequately staffed

This department has an extraordinary turnover rate, is extremely stressful and always understaffed. You will never received support from management or HR regarding employee concerns and favoritism runs high.

Cons: no support from administration for compliance with standards of care

I came to work here because of the IU Health name. If IU wants to keep its name synonymous with good care, good value, good outcomes it better send an operational team to La Porte and Starke ASAP to take – more... over and give some hope to patients and staff. I have worked at several hospitals over the course of my 30 year career and this is the first hospital I refuse to receive care from and refuse to let any of my loved ones receive care from either. I have received a job offer from a well respected hospital and will be resigning from here first thing Monday. Do not accept a position here. Everyone I talk with here is also looking for other positions and hoping to escape ASAP. I venture to say with certainty that this hospital will be forced to close within five years if it does not improve drastically very quickly. – less

I left a good organization to work for this company because I thought it would be a good opportunity for advancement and it was closer to where I lived. However, despite the many warnings from my peers – more... (one's who previously worked for the organization before it was bought out by IU Health) I decided to take a position with them anyway which ended up being the biggest mistake I could make in my career. Not only did I not know what I was getting myself into, but at the time I was also unaware that the position I was getting hired into had a high turnover rate and a shady history. Despite my best efforts to succeed and advance in my position as time passed, I was never given the adequate opportunities I was promised in the beginning because the work environment there was very unorganized and lacked good moral and competent management, and was very cutthroat due to unfair favoritism and biased management. It was unfortunate that my fears after working there such a short time had become a reality and I hope that some poor soul considering this position will see this as a warning and ignore all these biased and ridiculous testimonies by these recruiters whose sole job is to get you to apply. – less

I recently returned to work at IU Health La Porte hospital after a brief stint away. I had always loved the organization and felt the environment was very much like a family. Though the opportunity I left – more... for was great, it was no match for the organization that I have grown to love. I was extremely happy to return.

Over the last roughly five years I have been given numerous opportunities for advancement and constantly feel challenged to better myself and those around me. The colleagues and teams I have interacted with are all committed to each other and the communities they serve.

I have experienced immeasurable growth in my short time here and look forward to much more in the future. I would recommend employment at IU Health to anyone with a passion and a commitment for being the best of the best. – less

Cons: not the best benefits & "higher ups" are always right w/no say so from employee

This was my favorite job when I was employed by IU Laporte Health. I worked there almost a year and it was GREAT. Everyday was new and had a challengeIt was a new practice & there was a misunderstanding – more... that I somehow got caught up in with a strong position holding "higher up" & a practice admin. and they took my world away without PROPER investigating, NOR taking into consideration my good reviews and customer satisfaction w/me AND without talking to me about the particular situation in which I was discharged.I won my unemployment and the Law Judge said they had NO PROOF of what they discharged me for - yet it didn't get me my job back. I would have loved to just get my job back!!I thought I worked for what was a great place, with compassion and an "open door" policy that treated ALL FAIRLY - NOT AT ALL.very disappointing. – less

IU Health La Porte Hospital is a wonderful place to work. I have worked at this facility since I was 16 and have been fortunate enough to be offered several advancement opportunities within the organization. – more... La Porte Hospital truely cares about its colleagues and their personal and professional growth.

In addition, IU Health La Porte Hospital's dedication to customer service puts us a step above the rest. I have the privilage to work with so many fantastic colleagues, who are personally committed to the quality of care each of our patients receives. – less

I have been given many wonderful opportunities during my employment with IU Health La Porte Hospital! I have worked for the organization for 6 years, and I never would have imagined that I would have grown – more... so much in a short amount of time.
